I have added a ground bus and connected every ground point I see in the cabinet. I'm not sure about the stepper motors, or the RichAuto controller though. The stepper motors all run to the Yako controllers which are mounted in the cabinet. I don't see a ground terminal on them. The RichAuto box has a ground connection near the bottom at the 24v input section. It connects to the Omron S8FS power supply. The connection was labeled at the factory "GND". I connected the "earth" terminal next to that one to my ground bus.
Mac...just to clarify, i am not saying your method is wrong
